Kasich: Travel ban from Ebola-infected areas to U.S. ‘makes sense’
Fox8 ^

Posted on 10/18/2014 5:33:49 PM PDT by Red in Blue PA

AKRON — Ohio Gov. John Kasich said Saturday that a travel ban should be seriously considered in light of the recent Ebola scares in Dallas and Ohio.

“The president has to very seriously consider the fact we don’t want people from infected areas to be flying into the country,” he said a press conference Saturday. “But at the end of the day, it’s a decision for the president. If he called and asked me I’d say, a ban at this point makes sense.”

The number of direct contacts in Ohio with Ebola patient Amber Vinson has risen from 16 to 29, according health officials, and an additional 87 people were on her flights to and from Cleveland.

We can’t have a travel ban because if the racist illiterate morons in Flyover Country don’t think it is possible that Ebola might kill them, personally, they will not support the massive intervention necessary to stamp out Ebola in West Africa.

Because we’re racist rednecks, don’tcha know...

That plane made five more flights. To think that a sneeze only goes five feet is stoopid! Mythbusters showed sneezes from 13 to 17 feet! And that sneeze isn’t going straight into the filters! It’s being wafted around! Get real!

Uh.. John? The illicit, illegitimate _Resident doesn't give a rat's good-damn about infected people flying in. And he most certainly doesn't need to "consider" it, because ... well, gee, John... who's gonna stop him? Who??? That's right, John. NOBODY.

Perhaps even your super-duper-lefty damaged brain can compute that.

I would so wish to see that episode. Guess I’ll try youtube, unless someone knows if I can find the episode on Netflix.

Obama is not going to close the borders or stop people from infected countries from coming in. Once a person arrives in the USA they get free Obamacare.

Remember, don’t let a crisis go to waste.

“The president has to very seriously consider the fact we don’t want people from infected areas to be flying into the country,”

The President should be beyond the point of "serious consideration". He should have already banned flights.

“But at the end of the day, it’s a decision for the president."

Common sense and the people of this country should decide this. Based on common sense I think the people have already made their decision. Flights should be banned.

If he called and asked me I’d say, a ban at this point makes sense.”

So then Kasich would only tell the president if asked and only "at this point".

Geez! How many weasel words and weasel phrases can Kasich use?

Kasich is pro-amnesty. He could have been a big spending moderate squish on other issues and ran on immigration appealing to non Hispanic voters in the midwest.

Now there is only one serious candidate who could win the primary the way Romney did: NC Governor Pat McCrory.

That is the kind of limp, weak suggestion from our elected leaders that infuriates me. It is worse than saying nothing because it signifies total weakness.

People forget that he voted for the 1994 federal ban on assault weapons.

He is a weasel and a POS.

Can you imagine zero calling kasich - “uh do you think we should stop people from West Africa from coming over here?”.

Kasich replies “well Mr President we should certainly consider it. Perhaps we can establish a group to review, study and issue a recommendation in a few months”
